Report: Threats Against At Least One Judge Weighing Trump Ban

HeadlineFeb 10, 2017

Meanwhile, at least one of the judges hearing Trump’s travel ban has faced threats, prompting local police officers and the U.S. Marshals Service to beef up security. That’s according to CNN, which cited unnamed law enforcement officials. After Federal District Judge James Robart issued a nationwide injunction last Friday halting Trump’s executive order, Trump called Judge Robart a “so-called judge” and tweeted, “Just cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril. If something happens blame him and court system. People pouring in. Bad!”
